| The Hub: QUAD ESL-57, Some good things last a lifetime. I play mine with the front AND back grills off, and up in Arcici stands. The Mye stands look even better, but I need to get Grant’s Tympani stands first. By the way, Crosby, the guy who offered a good mod for the Quad 63, made a run of replacement... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Like solar panels? Great, now that I've moved to the dark, cloudy Pacific NW! | |
| Diffuse Front Wall? Absorb rear wall? ASC makes a model called the Martix Panel, designed for the wall behind the listening position, if the listener's head is within two feet of that wall. It provides a mix of absorption and diffusion, so as to not make for too dead a sound. Maggie o... | |
| The Hub: QUAD ESL-57, Some good things last a lifetime. Welcome back, audiomagnate! For vocals and small scale acoustic music (Baroque, Chamber, Folk, Bluegrass) the original Quad is still unequalled. Like you, I have other speakers for other music, but will never be without a pair of Quads. | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired I think most people would be considering installing a new sub-panel, being fed from the main panel and dedicated to the system room, not a new, separate service line from the street to a new, second main panel. With the sub-panel, no new grounding... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired euchlerera---I too had thought that was something that might be done, but in reading the various threads I was referred to here (thanks again guys!), I learned that it absolutely should NOT be done, and is illegal anyway! The grounding arrangement... | |
| Which is the Better Tonearm - Pro-Ject or Rega? The Audiomods Classic (which uses the Rega 303 arm tube) is better than either. A UK arm handmade by a designer and master machinist, whose website will tell you all about the design. | |
| Critical listening or a reason to keep tinkering? Spend more on your music library than your system. | |
| Thorens TD 125 MK II with TP 16 tonearm - What's it worth? Make sure the 125 doesn't have a problem in it's electronics. It's a somewhat complicated and finicky design, and I and others have had the electronics malfunction, a problem whose source is very hard to identify. Three trips to the repair shop wi... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Found the thread Bill, did a post. Hope it wasn't too long-winded! | |
| ASC tube trap full round with dark and light sides - diffusing vs absorbing Ah ha, okay. Were the two-color traps a limited time offering? I’ve never seen even a photo of one. I'll be setting mine back up again soon---I'll have to give them a call myself to find out what the seam side is. | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Sure would Bill, I’ll get over there and find it. I gotta include that Forum in my daily routine; I’m not a regular like I should be. I met Steve in the Tower Records in Sherman Oaks in the mid-90’s, and arranged to interview him for Mike Fremer (... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Oh, it is Ghost! Thanks again everybody, the research continues. Thanks for the invite FF; I'm actually just across the border in Vancouver, Washington. A nice, quiet, all-residential single-family home neighborhood---no light industry or other no... | |
| ASC tube trap full round with dark and light sides - diffusing vs absorbing I've never seen or even heard of half & half colored ASC tube traps, but I do know that the reflective versus absorptive side can be identified by the location of the seam. One or the other is centered on the seam, but I don't remember which. ... | |
